Frank Watson served as FNC's vice president and general manager.[4] Partners included Willie E. Gary, Evander Holyfield, Cecil Fielder, Marlon Jackson, and Alvin James.[5][6] Comcast dropped FNC due to lack of viewer interest.[7] The legal dispute between FNC's management and Comcast was settled in 2005.[8] References1. ^{{cite news|last=Clifford|first=Dorothy|title=Chatting in The Florida Room|newspaper=Tallahassee Democrat, Style Section|date=November 8, 1998}} 2. ^{{cite news|last=Straeb|first=Matt|title=The Reality of the Virtual Set|newspaper=Broadcast Engineering|date=August 1999}} 3. ^{{cite news|last=Jordan|first=Juana|title=A Major Step for Florida News Channel: Tuning in Black Viewers|newspaper=Tallahassee Democrat|date=February 25, 2003}} 4. ^{{cite news|last=Ensley|first=Gerald|title=New Chief at Florida News|newspaper=Tallahassee Democrat|date=April 27, 2000}} 5. ^{{cite news|last=Deggans|first=Eric|title=A 'CNN' for black viewers|url=http://www.sptimes.com/2003/02/24/news_pf/Floridian/A__CNN__for_black_vie.shtml|newspaper=St. Petersburg Times|date=February 24, 2003|accessdate=November 13, 2012}} 6. ^{{cite news|last=Umstead|first=R.
